Lamentations 2:7 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Hath cast off... hath abhorred. — The two verbs are used in a like context in Psalms 89:38.

His sanctuary. — The word points to the Holy of Holies, and “the walls of her palaces” are therefore those of the Temple rather than of the city.

They have made a noise. — The shouts of the enemies in their triumph, perhaps even the shouts of their worship, had taken the place of the hallelujahs of the “solemn feast.”

Lamentations 2:7

7 The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his sanctuary, he hath given upd into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made a noise in the house of the LORD, as in the day of a solemn feast.
